Step debugging imported modules in Python with Visual Studio Code

Question

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv(some_data)

I put a breakpoint in the second line of this code and Visual Studio Code stops at this breakpoint. But when I try to step into the "read_csv" function vscode apparently performs a "step over". I also tried setting a breakpoint inside the "read_csv" function but with the same result.

So how do I step into the mentioned function?

Seems to work for me. What exactly is some_data? Also, I assume this is Python 3? — Anoop R Desai

some_data is a pandas DataFrame which got saved as csv. But this was just an example. The main point is, that I can't step inside this function. Yes, it is Python3 and I tried it under macOS as well as Ubuntu both running the latest version of vscode and Python3. — schnesim

As of the April 2019 update debugStdLib changed to

"justMyCode": false

To step into third-party code, set "debugOptions": ["DebugStdLib"] in your launch.json configuration.

In my case it was "debugStdLib": true but thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
